Yikes, not much confidence in the returning talent or the impact of our new coach.

8. Stanford (15-15/8-10/9th): The major personnel question involves all-conference forward Rosco Allen. For the moment, we’ll assume Allen withdrawals from the draft and returns for his senior year. Everyone else is back for new coach Jerod Haase, whose charge is to maximize the talent — the Cardinal has underachieved for many years — and make the program relevant again. Look for instant improvement in some areas, but only modest climb up the standings.

8th is what I might expect if Rosco leaves.  If he stays as Wilner assumes, I think a top-half of the conference should be expected, and I think we have a good chance at winding up in the top third.
